Dead By Daylight leaker Dvveet has shared BeHaviour Interactive mood boards for three reportedly cancelled Survivors as well as the alleged Survivor set to release in March 2026. One of the mood boards is for a female Survivor wrestler named Mina Key that Dvveet claims is “most likely” cancelled, and the mood board links WWE’s Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch as influences within BeHaviour Interactive.

A mood board is a collage of images that show influences and the aesthetic direction for a project. In the case of Mina Key, BeHaviour Interactive’s mood board features a range of streetwear as well as an ensemble of images featuring WWE’s Rhea Ripley, as well as what appears to be an AI-generated image of Becky Lynch, who is mentioned by name in text.

There are images of Gail Kim in the wrestling promotion TNA, as well as wrestler Kris Statlander, who competes for AEW. There’s also text which lists positives for the artistic direction, such as having the first female “buff” build, and the “wrestling fantasy/world [being] unique”.

Concept art for Mina Key was shared on the LeaksDBD subreddit in October. Accompanying descriptions say she is an American in her 20s and is a “bodybuilder and amateur wrestler desperate to make it in a corrupted sport,” while also describing her as “Highly trained, agile, and muscular”.

Dvveet claims that Mina Key was “positively received internally,” however, the “leak was damaging for her release”. While leaked Survivors and Killers have still been released in the past, the difference is that they were practically finished, whereas Mina “leaked very early,” so she isn’t “locked in”.

While there remains a possibility that Mina Key may be released at some point in the future, Dvveet states that BeHaviour is currently not revisiting her.

Other Dead By Daylight Survivor mood boards

Other Dead By Daylight mood boards leaked by Dvveet include allegedly cancelled Survivors, Evelyn Delgado and Lucas Laurent.

Starting with Evelyn, there are notes that hint at why she may have been scrapped. Some of the notes read, “cool in concept but hard to pull off visually, risks looking shallow,” and “eternally condemned to wear pink and black or loses visual fidelity”. There’s also a note accusing “true crime girlies” of having a “Karen” stigma.

As for Lucas, he was leaked by Dvveet as a “Rich kid heartthrob who did grand heists”. The mood board features images of actor Timothee Chalamet, suggesting a specific look BeHaviour was aiming for, while also featuring heist masks from TV shows and movies, with text saying, “Let’s have fun with heist masks like the rubber horse”.

Arguably, the most interesting mood board is for Renjiro Yamaoka, the leaked Survivor coming out in March. Leaks have revealed that Renjiro is a cursed samurai and the father of Dead By Daylight Killer, The Oni. The mood board is an ensemble of samurai depicted in film, television, and even the video game Ghost of Tsushima. There’s also feedback that reads, “he’s already an established character… and folks love samurai”.

Remember, these are just leaks rather than anything official. The only official news is that the Dead By Daylight Stranger Things Chapter 2 PTB is launching on January 6, and BeHaviour has hinted at Eleven and Dustin as the Survivors, with Vecna already confirmed as the Killer.

As for other leaks, a 2026 roadmap up to June has been shared online, and there are rumors that Friday the 13th’s Jason is heading to Dead By Daylight eventually, as well as Predator, who has reportedly been “lined up since Alien”.
